Designed to prevent fastening failures, Mountz cam-over torque wrenches provide reliable and precise torque control for bolting applications that do not tolerate over-torque conditions. Improper torque control increases manufacturing costs and delays. As a quality control tool, the cam-over wrench allows any user to deliver the correct torque with confidence regardless of task and operator…
Calibrating a hand or power torque tool is a process that manufacturers need to make sure takes place on a consistent basis. Regular tool calibration ensures repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. A torque tool is a precision device and should be treated and maintained like an instrument. A tool must be properly calibrated…
An electric torque screwdriver is a precision torque control instrument and should be handled with care at all times. There are different methods for testing the torque output of an electric screwdriver. Each method has a key purpose. The video below provides a brief overview of the different methods. In a calibration lab, you want…
Manufacturing facilities are equipped with various torque tools for handling all the different fastening applications at that site. Hand and assembly power tools are being operated daily. Performing tool calibrations in the lab and torque audits in the production area requires a multitude of torque sensors and measuring equipment. Often when quality engineers or calibration…
With most standard run down adapters, after each run down the RDA needs to be backed off slightly before another run down can be performed. The AURA by Mountz is a unique run down adapter as it is designed to be an auto reversing run down adapter. The device is designed to only operate in…
The Mountz ETA (Electronic Torque Analyzer) System originated in the early 1970s based on a need for the U.S. Navy Polaris Missile Program. With the assistance of Lockheed Missile & Space Co., the primary contractor, Mountz was awarded a development contract for 50 ETA systems. The first system encompassed a strain gauge torsion bar transducer…
When calibrating or testing torque wrenches, often adapters are needed. Especially wrenches with open-end heads. Testing wrenches with different open end sizes will mean you need a variety of different size adapters. Why waste time with searching for different size adapters? The time needed to remove and insert different size adapters is unnecessary. An adapter…
Overtime, all power tools start to drift out of tolerance. When testing a power tool using a torque tester or reaction style torque sensor, always use a quality joint rate simulator otherwise known as a run down adapter (RDA). The purpose of using a RDA is to simulate the fastening process of a screw. These…
The MTX is a low-torque sensor designed for calibrating and testing small hand screwdrivers, torque wrenches, and power tools. Its low-profile design also allows the calibration instrument to be used for testing automation and robotic fastening applications. These versatile MTX torque sensors are used in conjunction with a torque tester. A torque sensor is a…
Small torque tools are precision instruments designed to accurately and repeatedly tighten fasteners to a proper torque value. Overtime, all torque tools start to drift out of tolerance. Preventative maintenance and regular torque calibration cycles will ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Having reliable tools will increase productivity, reduce rejection rates and make…
